combination and the other matters described in BRD’s definitive
proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”).

“may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify

subsequent date, and none of New PubCo, Suntuity or SPAC undertakes
any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
may be required under applicable securities laws. Neither New PubCo
nor SPAC gives any assurance that either New PubCo or SPAC will
achieve its expectations. You should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, New PubCo’s actual results or
performance may be materially different from those expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that
could cause actual results to differ include: (i) the timing to

combination deadline; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or
other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the
definitive agreements relating to the proposed business
combination; (iii) the outcome of any legal, regulatory or
governmental proceedings that may be instituted against New PubCo,
SPAC, Suntuity or any investigation or inquiry following
announcement of the proposed business combination, including in

failure to obtain approval of SPAC’s stockholders; (v) Suntuity’s
and New PubCo’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes
required in, its officers, key employees or directors following the
proposed business combination; (vi) the ability of the parties to

changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiv) the possibility
that Suntuity or SPAC may be adversely affected by other economic,
business, and/or competitive factors; (xv) operational risks; (xvi)
the possibility that natural disasters, raw material, component and
labor shortages, global and regional shipping and logistics
constraints, work stoppages, epidemics or pandemics, or the
physical effects of climate change disrupt Suntuity’s business;
(xvii) litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the
diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs
and demands on Suntuity’s resources; (xix) the risks that the
consummation of the proposed business combination is substantially
delayed or does not occur; and (xx) other risks and uncertainties
indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus
